My dear Papa: Everything is very quiet this "p. m., so it is an extra good time to write you a letter and so here goes, but as usual very little news, with the excep tion of a big and enjoyable trip to Paris, most wonderful trip I have yet had. A Y. M. C. A. man was our guide for two days. He took us to the most interesting places, and told us things of interest as we went along. One trip was on the boat, and the other, on one of the big French cars. We would stop and go in the building of most interest, for instance, the hotel Pres. Wilson stopped in; the Peace Conference building, through a small portion. of it though; the auditorium, and of course a number of other places. Saw th3 place in the church that the shell from the big gun went through and killed something like 200 people the only real damage that was done to Paris during the entire war. Saw the oldest hospital in the world, built in 660; and so many things of interest that it is useless to try to tell all about them in a lettej. I can tell you all about my trip when I get home. keep the card and I can, perhaps, tell you something of each one. - ( . One of the nicest things of all was - If ' ? that I was with a bunch of fellows I liked: two that I was in Chapel Hill with and a Sgt. Major from Winston, also a Sgt. from Florida, all in head quarters. We wanted to go together so all put-in for a pass on the same date, and it was checked that we could go, so that made the trip still rcater glass cannot be obtained; it is 'more. pleasant. I didn't get my pass ?ood, though not quite as reliable as thru the Ambulance Co., it came to me from Headquarters. There hasn't a infertile eggs keep better than f er- ( cingle man from Ambulance Co. got tlIe- ! ten a pass to Paris yet. I like it very much with Headquarters in every re spect; the best bunch of fellows in the Division I really believe, and they are (supposed to have the best education. Thejjfficer in charge of the Infirmary, Lieut. McCormic, left the same day I 'did on a pass. - He hasn't gotten oacK yet, due hack one day this week. He went to Niece and several other places I just finished making a 20 per cent, solution of Sivol for Major Troy. He came in this morning and wanted the solution made, and asked for me. I wasn't in, so he came back for me to make the preparation. Wouldn't let the other fellows do it, "see?" he has -confidence in me, allthose things help. Up until this I hadn't been "thrown with officers at all. Am only glad of the chance. I like the men in Ambu lance Company, but if it hadn't been for my mail, I wouldn't have ever come back to Ambulance Company 324. I could have kept from coming oack very easily. But now as it is am very glad I came back. Am certainly glad to know your crop of tobacco did so well, hope things will continue to go on nicely with you all at home. T . Can't hear a thing in favor of our return to the States. Hoping you are real well and gec ting on good in every way. Best love to you all your son, " LOUIS M. BOBBITT. Ambiance Co. 324, -306 Sah. Tr.

Final Week of did Clothes Campaign Mrs. John Tarwater, chairman Old Clothes Campaign for the Red Cross of Warren county, is asking that all old clothing be turned in to the fol lowing representatives of this move in their various communities prior Jo' the last of the week. Saturday she urges that the clothing be brought here af ter having been packed in sacks the shoes separately. Old uniforms are not to be accepted. The following ladies are to receive j the old clothing in their several com munities: Wise Mrs. Charlotte Story Perkinson; Norlina -Mrs. H. C. Flem ing; Vaughan Mrs. W. R.

Co-operation by , the public in t this great service to the need of humanity is requested by the drive head of the Chapter.' On The Other Foct. A farmer on the street the other day had a sack of meal 'vin-, his hand when he said: Just look at this little peck of meal for which I paid 65 cents and which I used to buy for 20 cents. It is a dirty shame, the prices we must pay the merchants." He was asked if his only business in town was to buy meal. "No,' he said, "I brought in a load of tobacco and sold it at one of the warehouses." "What did you get for it?" was asked. "Fortyreight cents a pound," was his answer. One more question was asked: "How much did you get for tobacco when you could buy meal at 20 cents a peck?" And he simply said, "You go to hell,'' and walked away. Shelby Record.

Wilcox, Conference Sec retary, in Charge of the" Big Methodist Centenary movement which engages the attention of the people of this sec tion during - the week May 18th to 25th, preached three powerful ser mons in Warren Sunday upon the Churches duty an--the hour of recon struction. Dr. Wilcox filled the morn ing appointment here at 11, preached at Norlina at the afternoon hour and filled the night appointment at Macon. Congregations were large at all places. ; - - , The general theme of all . three ; dis courses was the sphere off the church iii the :days now. upon us, of its op portunity and the necessity to meet the needy of ; the . hour pr gounder it twaa 'onsrheother stressed. "Too long have we played with our religion," he forcefully stat ed at Macon; "we have been trying to run the church on the basis of the peanut corner merchant and the beg gar instead of conducting it upon a sound economic basis and a plana which will give it power. Religion is free because Heaven went bankrupt in giving to earth the Savior, but churches,,., missionary expenses, ex tension costs. . The time is here when" we . must realize the claim upon us to meet the obligations of a big world of action, must realize that our money is held in trust for the extension of the Kingdom and to carry out the di vine instruction : 'Go and preach the. gospel to every creature! Heaven help us to grasp the significance of our re ligion and place our hearts upon the Throne of God if the spiritual natu reis developed, the strings of the pock etbook will answer the cry of distress and the church will assume a greater sphere of service to the sons of men.1' . Dr. Wilcox is possessed of the spirit of the drive, his very nature breathes the ozone of the duty upon the church to expand even as all other agencies are expanding, his j soul assimilates the duty of the . hourp-the obligation of the individual, arid a powerful in- terlect drives home thru strength o? appeal and eloquence a visualization of the church's program in a world now being made over. His three appointments proved aa source of pleasure to his hearers, and it is believed, of abiding and increas ing aid to the cause he ably repre sents.. .

RUTH. Centenary A member of the Marines at Chateau Thierry, Belleau Wood and bearing the scars of six wounds, one of which makes a sling for the left arm -necessary, another which causes a slight limp, Stephen H. Bowden, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. P. " Bowden, is spending several days, with1 his parents near Axtelle. Mr. Bowden enlisted in Philadelphia on November 15th, 1917, reporting for duty at Paris Island, but later trans ferred to Quantico, Va. He sailed for France on April 11th after intensive training: at the Marine station where he won a medal for markmanship. Ar riving in France' the last of April further training was taken prepara tory to opposing the JHun. 'On tne 6th --of June, he was a member oi detachment of marines which went into action 7,200 strong to emerge at the end of the daywith only 3,200 men still capable foractibn. He aw some of the hardest fighting of the war be fore being; incapacitated-; by wounds late in the summer. He was invalided home in November, and is now under treatment at an army hospital. Mr. Bowden's wounds were, caused by a high explosive shell. This first opportunity, to greet the folks r back home coming, after over eight eet. months is a source of pleasure to Mr. Bowden and his many friends. r s ' " s . -S A". ' f.'. . -.... .-f.

"As the tones of Lohengrin's , bridal march, under the soft touch of Mrs. J.

The bride was gowned in a hand some travelling suit of dark blue cloth with accessories in gray. The color scheme of the decora tions was green and pink and was beautifully simple in the soft glow of candle-light. Immediately after the ceremony the bride and groom motor ed to Norlina where they boarded a train for Southern points. THE SHOT GUN (Contributed).

"Not another seat in the-house" was the word signalled back to the ushers at the door Friday night long before the crowd ceased to gather at the Opera House. Volunteers for the galery made forty or more seats available, and they soon were filled People still kept coming chairs -and benches were brought in and rapidly filled standing room was well stood upon 'ere the public ceased climbing the stairs. ' "And why all this crowd," the stranger may ask, "and were they satisfied?" The-crowd was drawn from all sections of the County and every spot of the town to -witness the attraction' of the Oxford Orphanage Singing Class and the interest which this worthy cause always strikes was denoted by the character of the au dience to whieh it played: there were preachers," there were business .men, there were doctors, : lawyers, -crap-shooters and society belles, ball heads of youth arid old age, chatter of the young hopefuls under twelve and the . prattle of many more past roseate life, "there were old maids and old men -whose matrimonial inclina tiojia KaVel-long since faded as the mirage . of a . foolish delusion, there were " sweethearts and beaux whose presence - lent an air of -prophecy 'to the gathering and formed a ground of speculation ".among those -many who guess and -talk as: to when .the next allianee.with xt rag, & bone and a.hang 3rairH;prpveba ' those spirits-under the spell of Cupid's masric wand- all nowerul to mftke 1, 1 j 1 .1 il. .

The closing minutes were made delightful by the rendition of popular songs as "The. Rose of No Man's Land," "Will You Say to my Dear Mammy," and closing with "Home Again."
